Installed new door speakers this weekend and it went pretty well.
I read a lot of recommendations for using the Polk DB651 as a direct drop in, but the Kickers fit right in with a basic adapter.
I didn't need to remove the existing speaker grill, but I did bend some plastic tabs out of the way.
The only issue was some confusion on the wiring.
The online diagrams stated the following:
Passenger Side:
- Grey/Black: Negative
- Grey/White: Positive
Driver Side:
- Green/Brown: Negative
- Green: Positive
BUT,
As you can see in the photo below.. that couldn't be the case.
I think, in my car, the Green wire is actually negative.
(Identical connectors plugged into identical speakers, so left wire should be negative on both)
So that's how I wired it (Green as negative).
It sounds great and these speakers were thin enough to clear the window easily.
